Unfortunately, this is a known bug in setuptools. It has no concept of "build time" dependencies, so it probably computed all of the dependencies correctly, but it doesn't install them in the correct order -- it just assumes that as long as everything gets installed it will work when it's finally run. This is the same problem that means even though matplotlib specifies numpy as a dependency, "pip install matplotlib" will not work unless numpy is already installed. This is a perennial problem, and apparently the setuptools guys spend very little time considering C extensions at all.

So, I was working from a completely fresh virtualenv, installing a package that had a matplotlib dependency. As it happens to be, the dependencies in this package lists matplotlib prior to numpy, so matplotlib got processed first. For whatever reason, while processing matplotlib, it didn't seem to think that it depended upon NumPy, but failed anyway when it couldn't find it. See the following output:
